Professional statement

Alyssa works with college students, young adults, and moms who are navigating anxiety, depression, mood disorders, life transitions, and the pressures of balancing daily responsibilities. She is especially passionate about supporting clients who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected, and she strives to create a space where individuals feel heard, validated, and encouraged to grow at their own pace. Her clients often describe her as warm, grounded, and easy to talk to.

Her therapeutic approach blends evidence-based practices with a collaborative, person-centered style. Alyssa draws from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based strategies, and strengths-focused interventions to help clients understand patterns, build resilience, and develop practical tools they can use beyond the therapy room. She believes therapy works best when clients feel empowered and supported in exploring both their challenges and their strengths.

Alyssa’s professional background includes extensive experience in supporting adolescents and young adults through academic stress, relationship concerns, family dynamics, and major life transitions. She has also worked closely with parents and caregivers navigating burnout and emotional overload, helping them find balance and reconnect with themselves. Her training reflects a commitment to trauma-informed, culturally responsive care and a belief in meeting each client exactly where they are.

She offers virtual sessions to clients across the state, providing flexible scheduling designed to fit busy school, work, and family routines. With a secure and user-friendly telehealth platform, Alyssa makes it easy for clients to access consistent, high-quality care from the comfort of home. She currently has immediate availability for new clients and welcomes individuals seeking a supportive place to feel understood, regain clarity, and move forward with confidence.


Message to clients

Before we start working together, I want you to know that therapy with me is a space where you don’t have to have everything figured out. You can show up exactly as you are—overwhelmed, hopeful, exhausted, curious—and we’ll take things one step at a time. My goal is to help you feel understood, supported, and empowered to make changes that feel right and sustainable for you.

My hope is that therapy offers you a sense of relief, connection, and momentum. I want you to feel seen, supported, and confident in your ability to build the life you want.
